Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Chapter 38: Willing to Spend

"Without wealth, people will be happy!"

Gu Siwei looked at Liu Dezhu and said with a smile.

Liu Dezhu held the pot in his hand and said to Gu Siwei: "Brother Siwei, you are really ruthless with your money. When I walked to the store with more than fifty yuan, I still had a few yuan left after you spent it."

"Money is not spent."

Gu Siwei also sighed.

For a few dozen yuan, I got a pot, a spatula, a spoon, a colander, and some seasonings such as salt, MSG, and Sichuan peppercorns. These things are not worth much, and they cost me nothing in total. Less than a dollar.

Of all the things, the ax was the most expensive, and all the other things put together were not as valuable as the ax.

Good guy!

An ax cost more than twenty yuan. At this time, twenty yuan was a month's salary for a worker. After a few decades, it would be worth five to six thousand yuan.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Dezhu was amazed at the speed at which Gu Siwei spent money.

Gu Siwei just felt distressed for a while, and it was over after he felt distressed. He had never been the kind of person who was stingy with money. He believed that money was earned, not saved by digging around.

"Let's go, after the money is spent, let's go home," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"I have no choice but to go home." Liu Dezhu was also shocked that Gu Siwei could not spend money on his own. Fifty yuan was enough for the two of them for a year. In just a few minutes, he was taken away. Brother Siwei went out for flowers.

This kind of behavior suddenly opened a crack in Liu Dezhu's little outlook on life: Can money still be spent like this? !

Getting ready to leave.

"Comrade, wait a minute."

Gu Siwei turned his head subconsciously. He didn't expect that he was being called. Who knew he saw the salesperson who came in for the first time running out with him, and even chasing him.

In order to make sure that the girl was talking to him, Gu Siwei looked behind him and found that there was no one behind him, so he stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

"You called me?"

"Yes, sorry, we didn't mean that."

The girl came to Gu Siwei, shook her black braids, smiled at Gu Siwei and said.

"What's the matter? Oh, that's the thing, it's okay. What I'm telling you is the truth. I'm a farmer to begin with. It's always wrong to tell the truth."

Gu Siwei smiled cheerfully.

The girl was stunned by Gu Siwei's words. After she quickly recovered, she said to Gu Siwei: "You are quite special. Come, let's get to know each other again. My name is Hu Yanqiu. Hu means Gu Yue Hu. Yan means Yan without the word "Bei". Autumn is the autumn of autumn."

The girl was a generous person, and she did not mean to look down on the farmers, so she felt that she had gone too far in laughing at others, so she chased him out to apologize to Gu Siwei.

Seeing the girl stretching out her hand, Gu Siwei also extended his hand generously and shook it: "Gu Siwei, the top is ancient, the bottom is hard work, one, two, three, four, four, the dimension is the dimension of thinking."

"Nice to meet you, Comrade Gu Siwei."

"Nice to meet you too, Comrade Hu Yanqiu!"

The two let go of their hands.

Hu Yanqiu asked: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Siwei said: "Go home, what else can you do? All the money has been spent. Now my pocket is cleaner than my face. What should I do if I don't go home?"

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said happily: "You are so funny."

Gu Siwei was a little confused when he said this, and thought to himself: Is this what I call humor? !

"By the way, there will be a public movie in the square over the textile factory in five days. Will you come and watch it?" Hu Yanqiu said.

After Hu Yanqiu finished speaking, she felt a little burning on her face. She really didn't think of saying this, but when she saw Gu Siwei, she blurted out these words for some reason.

Gu Siwei was not interested in watching any movies, and it was still five days later. He was not interested in staying here and waiting for four days, and he was even less interested in staying here for three or four days before coming back home.

"I have something to do these days, so I may not be able to come."

Before Gu Siwei finished speaking, Liu Dezhu came over again with a pair of bull's eyes.

"Motion pictures?"

Looking at Liu Dezhu's appearance, Gu Siwei despised this guy deep in his heart: Look at your worthless look, what's so good about the movie! Looking at who recruited you, my eyes almost jumped out of my head.

"Yeah, let's show the movie." Hu Yanqiu nodded: "Let's show "Tunnel War" and "Plain Guerrilla".

Upon hearing this, Liu Dezhu immediately nodded and said: "Then I want to come and see, I want to come and see."

After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu said: "Okay, come to my house when you come, and then we will move the bench together to watch...".

Liu Dezhu couldn't help but nodded.

Gu Siwei listened to Yunshan Wuzhao's words beside him, and thought in his mind, how could watching movies be connected with the bench?

Fortunately, Gu Siwei was not a good person. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask. Anyway, he decided not to come over to watch any of Lao Zi's movies. It took nearly ten hours to run back and forth, and it took almost a whole day. Just to watch two movies.

In Gu Siwei's opinion, this kind of behavior is purely out of his head.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should leave, otherwise Guo Shengshui and the others will be anxiously waiting," Gu Siwei said.

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, Hu Yanqiu and Liu Dezhu, who were chatting animatedly, stopped.

Hu Yanqiu repeated to Liu Dezhu where he lived, then turned around and went back to work.

Gu Siwei and Liu Dezhu, one carrying a pot and the other an ax, returned to the woods where Guo Shengshui and the others were staying, catching the attention of passers-by.

"You guys came back and bought, oh, you bought a lot of things."

Guo Shengshui said with a smile when he saw what Gu Siwei and Liu Dezhu were holding.

Before Gu Siwei could speak, Liu Dezhu pointed at the ax in Gu Siwei's hand: "An ax cost more than twenty yuan."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked, and all their eyes fell on the ax in Gu Siwei's hand.

"What kind of ax is worth more than twenty dollars?"

Their families also all have axes, but their axes are made by blacksmiths, and a wooden handle is attached to them to become an axe.

It seems to have the same purpose as Gu Siwei's ax, but after using it for a long time, you will know that the same two axes consume different energy. Nowadays, the axes in the village are just axes, and Gu Siwei spent more than 20 years to buy this one. It is a professional logging ax designed to save labor and time than ordinary axes.

But at this time, Guo Shengshui and others all felt that Gu Siwei was a person who was wronged, the kind who can't be wronged more. An ax costs more than 20, which is enough to buy six or seven axes. Six or seven axes can't be as useful as yours. ? !

Gu Siwei didn't care. He showed them the ax and sat aside.

"Have all the dried persimmon seeds been sold?"

After a few glances, Gu Siwei found that all the persimmons he had placed here were sold.

Hearing Gu Siwei's question, Guo Shengshui put down the ax in his hand and walked towards Gu Siwei, picking out his pockets as he walked.

"They were all sold. The total cost was more than two yuan. I gave them more than two yuan of meal tickets. The sales were a bit low. They counter-offered too much. If it was more expensive, they wouldn't take it. It was more than ten cents. I wanted to ask you for a pound of money, but you never came back, and you said you could sell it at will, so I made the decision here."

As soon as he heard that there were more than two yuan in meal tickets, Gu Siwei immediately became happy: "Just sell it, just sell it, it's not just a sale, how can I blame it!"

Twenty kilograms of persimmons were sold for more than two yuan, and Gu Siwei was quite happy. If he had sold them normally, he would have been so happy.

But it’s not Gu Siwei’s fault. He has a lot of such persimmons. As long as he can sell them, he will be happy for one penny, not to mention two yuan.

Others bought it just because it was cheap. At this time, no one’s children had much to eat. Now I saw some persimmons, and they were very cheap. Although they were not that delicious, some were better than none. good.

Moreover, they are reluctant to buy the really good persimmon cakes. They require some snack tickets, and they are also expensive. Who is willing to spend money to buy them for their children? If you have that money, it is better to buy more food so that the whole family can eat it. superior.

After taking the meal ticket, Gu Siwei immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, wait a moment, I will pull some cloth!"

Thinking that he and Sicui needed to have a change of clothes, Gu Siwei decided to go back and buy a few feet of cloth now. Even if he didn't need to change, that girl Sicui had lint all over her body, so she had to dress up.

At this time, Gu Siwei was still thinking that when the time came to send the girl away, she would be more calm with a new suit of clothes.

Gu Siwei didn't realize at this time that he actually felt sympathy for the little girl. To be honest, this thing was very troublesome. Whenever he had this thing, it would always cause trouble for him.

"Then you go, but you have to hurry up. Let's go back early. By night, we might be able to settle down with the third team," Guo Shengshui said.

Gu Siwei hummed and led Xiao ran to the store.
